Chapter 167: Heavenly Craft
When he was about to arrive at Wujia Town, Li Changqing finally rode back, followed by the carriage, obviously after his confirmation, there was no hidden danger in this carriage, otherwise he would not let the carriage continue to follow.
"I'm sorry, I kept you two waiting. As soon as Li Changqing came back, he said to the two with an apologetic face.
"It doesn't matter. ”
Li Changqing pointed to the old man who was driving, and said with a smile: "By the way, let me introduce Mr. Yao and Zhang Shaoxia, they are from Lingnan, and they are also going to Hongzhou, bandits are rampant along the way, I think they will not go smoothly when they are old and young, so it is better to let them follow behind the team and take care of each other." ”
Yao Sanming looked at the old man and nodded: "That's fine." ”
The old man was very enthusiastic, put down the whip in his hand, arched his hand to Yao Sanming, Zhang Shaoyang and Li Changqing, and said gratefully: "Thank you for your convenience, this Zhang Shaoxia has time to thank you for your rescue just now." ”
When Zhang Shaoyang heard this, he touched his head embarrassedly: "It's nothing, it's a casual matter, don't be so polite old gentleman." ”
"It's snowing heavily, so let's go into town and find a place to settle down and chat. Li Changqing pointed to Wujiazhen in the distance and proposed.
Everyone nodded in agreement, under the leadership of Li Changqing, a team of dozens of people entered the town in an orderly manner, this Wujia Town is not small, more than 100 households, because it is located on the official road, so the first thing you see when you enter the town is a few inns and restaurants, and then there are some slightly more humble houses.
With so many people, one inn must not be able to live, Li Changqing chose two larger inns, and while arranging for his brothers to place the darts properly, he also carried the wounded to the room, and instructed the second child in the store to invite Lang Zhong in the town, and after completing all the things within his duty, he finally had time to sit with Yao Sanming and them.
Seeing Li Changqing's busy appearance, Zhang Shaoyang couldn't help but quip: "Brother Li is really busy. ”
"Hey, don't make fun of me, brother, this is also a helpless thing, it's a job to pin my head to the waistband of my trousers, I'm their leader, if I don't do my duty, how dare these brothers follow me." ”
"That's just as well. ”
"Little Er, serve wine and food, you have to serve it well. Li Changqing greeted Xiao Er in the store.
Waiting for the time between the dishes, Li Changqing's afterglow never moved away from the three big boxes in the courtyard, next to those boxes, there were already three or four dart masters guarding them, plus Li Changqing attached so much importance to it, Zhang Shaoyang was a little curious about what was in these boxes for a while.
"Brother Li, look at the weight of these boxes, they should be something valuable, right?"
When Li Changqing heard this, he was immediately extremely nervous, looked at Zhang Shaoyang's face carefully, and saw that Zhang Shaoyang only had a curious expression and had no other ideas, so he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and said with some embarrassment: "Brother, you also know that in our dart industry, we generally only accept goods, and never ask what the goods are, so I don't know what is in this box." ”
"This kid came out for the first time, and he didn't understand anything, not to mention that Li Darttou didn't know, even if he knew, he couldn't tell you, this is the rule of people's business. ”
Yao Sanming counted Zhang Shaoyang's sentence, Zhang Shaoyang touched his head a little embarrassed, and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, I don't know." ”
"It's nothing, in fact, you can see that this box is not light, even if it does not contain gold and silver treasures, it must be some valuable things, not to mention that you are curious, brother, even my brothers are also guessing the contents of the box in private. ”
Li Changqing grinned, and it happened that Xiao Er brought up the wine and food, he got up and filled the wine glass, picked up a glass and said: "Thanks to the two of you for your rescue today, I don't thank you for your great kindness, I Li Changqing respects you two of you for this glass of wine." ”
According to Li Changqing, he used to be half a martial artist, and he had participated in the local martial arts test and won the top ten, but unfortunately the final quota was limited, and he eventually fell off the list.
Over the years, the number of times he walked the dart has gradually decreased, and the bet is also a more important dart, this time it is the guest who named him to accompany the dart, plus there is a specified time, so Li Changqing did not dare to slack off, after receiving the dart, he set off non-stop, with his careful mind and precise plan, along the way bypassed a lot of bandits occupied by the mountain, and went relatively smoothly, today those are the first wave of bandits to rob the dart.
Li Changqing, who was born as a martial artist, couldn't help but stretch out his thumb when he talked about Zhang Shaoyang, and praised: "After walking on the road for so many years, my brother is the person with the highest martial arts I have ever seen, I, Li Changqing, don't say anything else, I have never made a mistake in looking at people, and when I look at my brother, I can feel the righteousness in you, rare, rare!"
was praised by Li Changqing, Zhang Shaoyang was calm on the surface, but he was actually very happy in his heart, if it weren't for Yao Sanming by his side, maybe he would have followed the conversation to show his bragging skills in Jiangling.
After a few glasses of wine, Li Changqing subconsciously glanced at the three boxes, and then mentioned it himself: "Hey, in fact, according to my guess, there is nothing valuable in these boxes." ”
"Oh, why did Brother Li say that? ”
"I'm not afraid to tell you about it, the place where these darts are going to be sent is the famous Xiao Family Sword Village in Hongzhou, what is the Xiao Family Sword Village doing? That's the sword caster, the favorite of the sword casting is iron ore, it just so happens that our place is rich in iron ore, I am thinking, these boxes are not a pile of ore. ”
"You said that the place you are going to is the Xiao Family Sword Village?" Yao Sanming frowned.
"Yes, Mr. Yao knows?"
Yao Sanming touched his beard meaningfully: "I don't just know, my relationship with this Xiao family is extraordinary!"
Li Changqing didn't hear what Yao Sanming said in the opposite direction, smiled and said, "That's a coincidence." ”
The rest of the time chatted with the parents, except for the Xiao family Jianzhuang that Li Changqing himself took the initiative to mention, he didn't say anything about this dart, after he was full of wine and food, Li Changqing retired first, and took a few brothers to replace the person who was watching.
"Master, did you think of anything when he mentioned the Xiao Family Sword Village just now?" Yao Sanming's expression just now fell in Zhang Shaoyang's eyes, and after Li Changqing left, he asked Yao Sanming.
Yao Sanming shook his head.
"It's nothing, this dart master surnamed Li said that these darts are ores, and he thinks it is very likely that he is a teacher, but what puzzles me is that Xiaoliang Mountain, where Xiaojia Jianzhuang is located, must have no shortage of ores, why do you want to transport ore thousands of miles away, what do you do with so much trouble?"
"Perhaps... Are these ores special?"
"There is also this possibility, we don't know what's in the box, it's hard to speculate, but there is another thing that makes the teacher feel strange, after the old man killed Xiao Xuanyuan and Xiao Zhanlu, this day is really too calm, even my well-informed junior brother is not sure whether it is true or false, probably Xiao Tai A Xiao Longquan and the two deliberately suppressed the news. ”
"Master, isn't this just right? Could it be that you still want the news to spread all over the world and make it known to everyone?"
"As a teacher, I feel that with the Xiao family's unwilling personality, it shouldn't be so forbearing. ”
Zhang Shaoyang poured a glass of wine for Yao Sanming, and said with a smile: "Master, don't think about it so much, you are a sword immortal, no matter how powerful he is in the Xiao family's sword village, he still has to be coiled in front of you, they don't bear it, do they still have to come to you to fight to the death? Do you think they have the guts." ”
"That's true!" Yao Sanming felt comfortable when he heard this, took a sip of his wine glass, and stopped thinking about these things.
At this moment, a fat boy about five or six years old suddenly rushed in from outside the door, a pair of clever eyes searched on several wine tables for a long time, and finally stopped at Zhang Shaoyang, the little guy walked in timidly, but a group of dart masters may rarely see such a cute little guy, and they are eager to try to pinch the little guy's face.
Looking at these people's fierce eyes, the little guy didn't dare to go in after all, and looked at Zhang Shaoyang unhappily.
"Ouch, my little ancestor, why did you come here?" and then another voice sounded, it was the old man driving the car.
Seeing that the little guy was fine, the old man breathed a sigh of relief, and it happened that he also saw Yao Sanming and Zhang Shaoyang, thought about it, picked up the little guy, and then bypassed the table in front of him and walked to Yao Sanming's table.
"The two of you are still eating, Mu Mu, thank you for your kindness. ”
The child who was called Mu Mu obediently followed and said, "Thank you, two beneficiaries." ”
Zhang Shaoyang was overjoyed, squatted down and touched Mu Mu's head: "No thanks, Mu Mu, this name is good." ”
"Judging by what you're wearing, it should be a Lingnan person, right?"
"Mr. Yao is right, we are from Lingnan, the old man's name is Mu Jiyun, this is my grandson. The old man said with a smile.
"As far as I know, the surname Mu is a big surname in Lingnan, is it difficult for you to have something to do with that Mu Sect?"
Mu Jiyun was stunned, he didn't expect that this 'Mr. Yao' in front of him knew a lot, he didn't hide it, and said with a smile: "Mr. Yao really knows a lot, we do belong to the Mu Sect, one of the eight major sects in Lingnan." ”
"Su Wen Lingnan Muzong's heavenly craftsmanship is almost supernatural, which can be called the world's thaumaturgy. ”
"Alas, it's all a false name, nothing more than a carpenter doing carpentry, not as mysterious as the rumors. ”
Before the words fell, the table in front of several people fell apart instantly with a 'clang', and a table of wine and food spilled on the ground, scaring the rising dart masters who were eating next to them enough, almost thinking that someone had robbed the darts, and many people had already taken out the guys and looked at this side vigilantly.
Looking at the wooden strips scattered all over the place, Zhang Shaoyang was stunned, looked at the wooden wood next to him who was only slightly pressed on the table, and exclaimed: "You... What did you do?"
